Snap on the brush! I really like this Omega boar and I didn't get much "animal" smell from mine, unlike my first Omega 9 years ago!

It's an excellent brush. For me it has just the right amount of backbone and still feels soft on my face.

You're still hiding that poor lovable bloody copper lather bowl

Thanks, yeah Troy did me proud. And you, I'd say.

Needs a polish, Speedmaster.

I use a microcrystalline wax for surface protection, but it needs a birthday every so often.

SOTD – Sun 13 Aug 2023

Different soap, 1/2 teaspoon of soap OK

Shannon’s soap base’s texture is soft and tacky croap. The soap easily generated a rich creamy high density lather with awesome overall performance, a Top soap IMO. To me the scent is a well blended Aromatic Aquatic Barbershop that reminds me of B&M Waves and Blue Stratos, I actually prefer it to their standard Barbershop scent, scent strength 8/10. The Yaqi Sputnik gave another awesome efficient smooth shave, near BBS.

The Gear:​

• Pre Shave: Suavecito Brushless Shaving Cream
• Brush: Boti “Pearl” with APShave 24/52 Synthetic 2BED Fan
• Soap: Shannon’s Soaps Ltd - RebRab
• Bowl: Fine Accoutrements
• Razor: Yaqi Sputnik AL (55gm), a “Hone” clone
• Blade: Gillette - Wilkinson Sword {India} PTFE (3)
• Splash: Imperial Bergamot AS with added Menthol
• Balm: Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream
• After Shave: Blue Stratos AS Lotion
• Moisturiser (Later): MooGoo Hydrate Cream [A]

I can see why the poor copper bowl is crying, because, you kept on hiding the poor bastard and waiting to get polished.
